Talk:Mohawk hairstyle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wonder if the notable hawks section is really nessessary. At the very least the section should maybe have a diffrent name. Maybe something more like "Celebrities with mohawks" becuase really most of the people in that section don't have anything about their hawks that makes their hawks particularly notable, they're just random celebrities with mohawks. Thoughts? Lyo 21:00, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Some do have some special traits about them, for example, Mr T. He also pities the foo' that don't be respecting his chains (which are now gone :( ) Jackpot Den 23:03, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it should be sorted through and then given explinations about what makes their hawks more notable than others besides that they're famous. I feel like people who just had a mohawk for a little bit shouldnt be there unless their brief period was somehow notable. Lyo 22:58, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Also the notable fauxhawk list should probaby be moved to the fauxhawk article and out of this one. I'm going to do that now Lyo 23:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Another note about celebrities with mohwaks; I just noticed that Angelina Jolie's son, Maddox has one. As well as Clinton Portis, of the Washington Redskins. DJ Citizen D 19:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help removing wood glue from hair!

My son has put elmers pro bond wood glue in his brothers hair to create liberty spikes. We can not get it out! Any ideas?

I shouldn't laugh at this but I can't help it! First, don't use glue next time, it really fries your hair. Especially not wood glue. I suggest cornstarch boiled into water at a 1:3 ratio for spiking up mohawks (sorta like gelatin with no animal suffering involved, but it won't get good long term results like glue or other things will, and it may start to flake). As for your current predicament, try baking soda (or maybe it was baking powder) and hot water. I'm not sure if it will work though. I remember reading about using that and rubbing it in really well for getting out elmer's school glue. Never tried it though. And I'm not sure if it would work with wood glue. If that doesn't work, call a hair dresser, they might know. Or maybe a temporary skinhead look. If you're afraid of possibly being mistaken for a Nazi, wear a bandana or hat till some hair grows in (that's what I did after I cut my mohawk off). Tell me if any of this helps.

Comment on:"In some countries short mohawks are used only by nazis and it´s not at all asociated with punk culture."

As much as I know some neo-nazis shave their hair bald and are a subgroup of the skinhead rather than of the mohawk hairstyle.

[edit] Cultural Appropriation

I think someone should add some text about the history of the Mohawk hairstyle, and cultural appropriation of it.

I think it`s funny,that DeNiro never actually shaved his head for the Travis Bickle Mohawk. So it was actually more faux to make it look like a shaven head than not shaving the rest of the head.

[edit] Merger

I propose merging hoxton fin into the section about fauxhawks. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think it is just a regional synonym Green hornet 06:15, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

It does seem a bit like that. I second. Electriceel 11:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

They are not really synonyms. The hoxton fin is between a fauxhawk and a mohawk. It has more definition to the ridge than the faux, without going all the way to the mo. PaulJones 21:34, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

They're not synonyms, but the hoxton fin can probably fall under the umbrella of mohawk without being a seperate article. That is, it'd be a section in the mo article Electriceel _[Talk] 04:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chelsea Hawk

It looks like the picture of the chelsea hawk (shaven mohawk, but with bangs) is really a faux hawk (not all shaven), but with her bangs dyed so they looks seperate. So, anybody got a better one as this one is actually a chelsea hawk? Electriceel 14:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverse Mohawk

"Reverse Mohawks are Mohawk haircuts in reverse (the opposite of a Mohawk), essentially a shaved straight line (usually wide enough for a disposable razor or electric hair clippers) from the forehead to the nape of the neck leaving hair on either side of the line. This haircut is also known as an Antihawk, HawkMo, Skunk, Highway, Nohawkand Polish Mohawk. Famous Reverse Mohawk wearers include Road Warrior Hawk, one half of The Road Warriors, and Keith Flint, vocalist for The Prodigy. It was also sported by the fictional character Fraker in the movie Death Wish III. Alien Ant Farm singer Dryden Mitchell sported a less dramatic Reverse Mohawk, where he had a thin, long triangle shaved into the middle of his head, reaching to his crown. These suck."
